WISCONSIN RAPIDS — Roark Steiner, 14, recently earned his Eagle Scout rank with the Boy Scouts of America. It is the highest rank available through the program, and must be earned before a Scout reaches the age of 18.

Roarke, the son Tracy Steiner and the late Dirk Steiner, became a Cub Scout in 2000 while in the first grade. He continued on to Webelos and became a Boy Scout in 2011.

During the summer of 2014, Roarke attended the National Youth Leadership Training Camp in Rhinelander. He completed his Eagle Scout project and also became a member of The Order of the Arrow.

For Roarke’s Eagle project, he spent two days digging, edging and adding a drainage border around the Engel Fellowship Lodge and the group’s storage shed in Wisconsin Rapids. He passed the Board of Review on Jan. 13. His Court of Honor is set for April.

To date, Roarke, a member of Troop 187, has earned 38 merit badges. He plans to stay with the troop until he turns 18. He is currently Assistant Senior Patrol Leader and was King of Popcorn Sales in 2013 and 2014 in his troop.
